Green Beans Plant Disease Diagnosis Help
Comments (3)My own unscientific observations is that whenever my plants have had disease like you show, there have been watering issues. Either soil too wet, too dry, wet spots & dry spots together, leaves wet at night, soil goes gets too dry before watering. All this causes stress. You might want to use the finger method to continually observe the container wetness and notice the plants health at the same time. After doing this awhile you can usually tell just by looking at the plant the state of the soil wetness. Also, even if my plants were fertilizer deprived, but the soil wetness was good, they didn't develop disease (they just stayed yellow in color and didn't grow much). Also watering the leaves on a hot sunny day, helps prevent disease. Spore/fungus will start to grow but as the leaves dry in about 1/2 an hour, they die....See MoreAre these pansy seedlings sunburned?
Comments (9)Yes, these are the ones I'm growing. The soil temp is being monitored and is at 75 degrees, I can't get it much colder because the light is putting out a lot of heat. How did I throw you Al? I guess I said "peat pellets" when I actually meant expanding Burpee peat things that aren't pellets in the way that Jiffy's are? Here are 3 different seedlings growing under the same conditions - in the last one you can see some of the other flats. Are you thinking I don't have enough light to burn them or what about the seedlings looks off? I measured 1500 foot candles at the flats under the 8 T5HO lamps.

Comments (6)Hi & welcome to Gardenweb. So sorry about your plant, looks like it was a really big, nice one. It may have gotten unhealthy from not enough light, which makes it a more inviting home for insects. If you do look for a new jade, a sunnier spot might be better. Is it warm enough where you live to put this outside? If so, that's what I would do. Probably trim it back drastically, try to wash/rub all of the insects on the remaining parts, and see how it does in more sun. There are also systemic insecticides but I've never bought one. I think a systemic is needed for scale, but not totally sure....See MoreDenton County MG InfoFest
